I'm a big advocator of Civ5s gameplay changes in comparison to its predecessors and I enjoy playing in PBEM games against other people a lot.
In single player, however, the AI sucks every little bit of fun out of the game. The AI is incredibly irrational in whatever it does to such an extent that it would be futile to list everything thats wrong with it. In contrast I'm struggling to find anything the AI does reasonably well (maybe improving tiles?).
I'm sure everyone here has noticed this to some extent. From unit control to diplomacy to overall strategy its obvious the thought put into the AI by the devs was minimal at best. This strikes me as odd as single player supposedly is this games selling point. Am I missing something here?
